Grahame Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 ^ Is that the new Red Oxx, or Tom Binh d-_-b approved audio gear basket? I can't tell from this angle. Or has Costco entered the audiophile accessory market? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrion Posted January 8 Author Report Share Posted January 8 Tom Bihn would never make something as crappy as that so must be Red Oxx. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jp11801 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 (edited) We came to possibly the lamest conclusion, all three are pretty awesome. We had way different rankings I preferred the lcd5 of the three amd Mike the he1kse. The lcd5 to me was the most revealing of the three and had the wettest midrange. When a headphone out details the HE1kse that's impressive and the lcd5 did just that. I love the other two as well and could easily and very happily live with any of these. Hifiman wins for comfort and least picky of sources while holding its own in every audio category we compared them in. I do think the adx5000 is the mofo steal of the century at almost half the price of the HE1kse and less than half the price of the lcd5. Very very fast sounding extremely dynamic but can be slightly thin sounding. Both the adx5000 and lcd5 improve with eq and take eq well the HE1kse doesn't need much.

And endgame for everyone. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
